"It feels as if everything has vanished. Not only the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza erased without graves, without records, as if they had never existed – so many other things have been hollowed out: basic conceptions of morality, decency, compassion, humanity, hope, future."
Disappearing people, disappearing morals – how two years has changed Gaza and Israel | Orly Noy

Washington D.C. - Bijan Robinson has been selected as the Week 5 NFL Players Association (NFLPA) Community MVP after hosting a book fair for more than 7,700 kids in Atlanta. After learning nearly 70 percent of third-and fourth-grade Atlanta students were reading below proficient level, the Atlanta Falcons running back felt compelled to do his part in addressing the growing literacy rate crisis. On September 23, Robinson welcomed students from more than 35 elementary schools in the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) district to Mercedes Benz Stadium for a memorable event.

I remember when our college president only offered contract renewal to the faculty members who didn't sign the petition asking for a fair contract. If you yourself are not venal and cruel I think it can be hard to imagine how far people will go to produce suffering.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...
bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

Totally unacceptable that Speaker Johnson won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva immediately.

He refused to swear her in on Tuesday, and now he's refusing to swear her in tomorrow, though she is in Washington and stands ready.
